ULTRACAPACITORS & ULTRACAPACITOR MODULES

High Efficiency Low ESR Ultracapacitors and Modules

What are Ultracapacitors?

Ultracapacitors, or supercapacitors as they are also known, are an energy storage technology that offers high power density, almost instant recharging and very long lifetimes. Because they store energy in an electric field, rather than in a chemical reaction, they can survive hundreds of thousands more charge and discharge cycles than a battery.

Features and Benefits

Very long lifetimes (up to 1,000,000 duty cycles or 10 year DC life)

Rapid charge and discharge

High efficiency low ESRmax (0.25mΩ for 3000F)

No maintenance requirements

No harmful chemicals or toxic metals

Wide range operating temperatures (from -40 °C to 65 °C)

Typical Applications

Automotive subsystems

Burst/Boost power delivery for cold starting diesel or gasoline engines

We also offer Ultracapacitor modules with charge balancing circuitry designed to your power delivery and packaging requirements.

The Advantage of Low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) Ultra and Super Capacitors

ESR, which involves resistances of cell components, for example, electrolyte resistance and contact resistance between current collectors and electrodes affects the power delivery of a cell. High ESRs restrict the rate at which supercapacitors can be charged and discharged, leading to power reduction and energy dissipation.
